Google, the word not the company, has become such a common word for anyone who uses a computer (other than the yahoos who still use Yahoo, I guess) that it's surprising to learn that other languages have a different word for it. Like Italians say Googlare. Or that the Portugese say Googlar. It gets weirder.

The Atlantic Wire explains that the phrase "to Google" has become translated to other languages and listed some examples:

Spanish: googlear and guglear

Italian: googlare

Portuguese: googlar or guglar

German: googeln and googlen

French: googler

Swedish: att googla

Hebrew: l'gagel

Slovenian: proguglati or poguglati

Polish - googlować

Finnish: googlata

Czech: vygooglit

That doesn't even include Russian (гуглить/gugleet or googleet) or Greek (γκουγκλίζω/googlizo). Check out the full list at The Atlantic Wire. Or just Google it. [The Atlantic Wire]
